XSD: default integer value range


Well, it depends on the data type...

If you look at the definition of integer at w3:

The value space of integer is the infinite set {...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...}

In essence it means that, for integers, by default there is no min/max value range since any integer can be represented.

On the other hand, for an int:

(...) maxInclusive to be 2147483647 and minInclusive to be -2147483648.

The list goes on for longs, shorts, etc...
